Winter's Wrath

On December 1st, Lee competed at Winter's Wrath, his first powerlifting competition in more than two years.  He has taken time off for a variety of reasons, both physical and mental and by the time he decided to compete again, he was more than ready.  He competed full power - squat, bench and deadlift - and ended the day with three personal bests.  Lee squatted 615 pounds (PR), benched 370 pounds, and deadlifted 600 pounds (PR), for a total of 1585 pounds (PR).  It was both exciting and nerve-wracking to watch him compete again and we are incredible grateful to Nick and Morgan, both of whom made the trip to New Hampshire to handle Lee for the day.  We are so proud of his accomplishments, especially at the ripe old age of 44!

The 600 pound deadlift at the end of a full power meet (9th out of 9 attempts over a 10 hour day) was the culmination of years of hard work - no greater evidence of its meaning to Lee than this ultimate man hug with Nick.

Huge thanks to Nick and Morgan. 

A hint of a smile.
